This episode will be our final of the podcast. In it, Daren and Jaymee once again transparently attempt to work out the ongoing differences and challenges posed by a resurrected show in Season 2. In this rawly emotional, no holds barred conversation that enters new territory in their friendship, the Cynic and the Mystic searchingly explore whether or not to continue the podcast. Though the episode...

In this episode, Jaymee shares what he feels the "liberal middle finger" is, and provides suggestions for how to successfully override the hard wiring of our minds while simultaneously being kind to ourselves. Daren discovers that his thoughts now have a comment section, and that Jaymee is currently Daren's only consistently maintained adult relationship. Jaymee shares an incredibly...

Pivoting gracefully from booger wall memories to quotes from enlightened master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, Episode 13 is a heaping scoop of magic and scrutiny. Jaymee bets Daren he could MacGyver himself out of being chained to a dungeon cell with nothing more than mindfulness and a rat, and Daren presupposes what Krishna Das smells like. Jaymee discusses the hidden conditions within the...

On this episode, Daren shaves his mustache to symbolize the ending of his brief career as a porn star, and wonders "what if I don't relate to any of The (individual) Beatles as people?". Jaymee shares another mind-blowing full circle synchronicity story he experienced over the weekend involving Ram Dass and Love Serve Remember , and the spiritually themed Curb Your Enthusiasm moment...

What do crunchy teenage socks and The Rolling Stones have in common? Probably a whole lot, but they're also just two examples of A Million Digressions found in Episode 11 ! Hear about the swarm of bees that took up residence in Jaymee's attic, and how Daren was touched by a freeway angel after getting a flat on the way to the airport. Daren visits his hometown Buffalo, NY for his birthda...

When Jaymee's face begins shapeshifting early on in this episode, Daren immediately realizes that he may have gotten a little too stoned prior to taping. As usual, Jaymee leads a heartfelt discussion while Daren hurls grenades of hilarity that explode frequently throughout the episode, which felt like an instant classic from the start. Jaymee tells the story of how he spent the 7th anniversar...

In this episode, Daren forgets the word "dementia" and Jaymee invents the phrase "Employment Empty-Nesting" referring to retirement. Daren tells a story about the time he had to stimulate a kittens anus to promote a bowel movement, and Jaymee initiates a sing-a-long with Daren of a Sesame Street classic. All of this AND.... is Daren becoming a Mysti-Cyni? Are The Simpsons bette...

Put this episode on in bed to help ward off the taxman creeping toward you underneath your blankets! Jaymee and Daren discuss the oddity of referring to crime documentaries as "entertainment", whether or not you can bypass karma, and the mechanics of manifesting a life specific to your interests. Jaymee describes how worrying is like saying to the Universe "Give me lack!", and...

In this episode, Daren shares his recent fruitless searches through psychedelic meanderings, and up's his fart game by ripping one live on air. Jaymee attempts to rebrand the notion of hopelessness as being something beautifully beneficial, and the two laugh a lot while exposing themselves (emotionally speaking).  *Help support the show at: www.patreon.com/mysticalcynical  *Leave us a 2 minut...

Daren publicly compliments Jaymee by saying he has a "beautiful Mind", then Jaymee turns the whole hour into meaning while Daren cracks jokes. Topics discussed: world laws vs. universal laws, Daren eating a fruit cup at a mall food court, the Buddhist interpretation of the word "ruthless", mystical bagpipe solos, and Daren takes a moment to personally introduce each of us to th...

Episode 5 takes a dramatic turn from being a hilarious, high-spirited multi-topic bonanza of laughter and insight, to potentially the worlds first real time recording of a massive synchronicity involving actor Jason Segel that Daren wouldn't have believed if he wasn't present for. You'll have to first sit through Jaymee diagnosing Daren's current testical pain as being emotiona...
